DEATH OF VETERAN

Captain Dayton P. Clark Succumbsat Heaton Hospital

Montpelier, Nov. 11. - Captain Dayton Perry Clark, a resident of Montpelier for 50 years and the second veteran of the Civil War to die this week, died Wednesday evening at Heaton hospital where he was taken a week ago suffering from intestinal trouble.

Captain Clark was born in St. Lawrence county, NY, December 13, 1840, but came to Montpelier in his teens and when war broke out between North and South was one of the first to enlist in Company F, Second Vermont regiment. He enlisted as a private but promotions came rapidly and he was mustered out in June, 1864, as a captain. He was awarded a medal by an act of Congress for gallantry shown at the battle of Spotsylvania when his three superior officers were killed and he took command of the regiment.
